Wednesday, May 16, 2007

There are so many weight loss plans where do I start? You have Surgery as one option but the risk is high. Diet pills, herbs like hoodia, and supplements offer quick fixes that don't last. All of these will have an effect on your health and well being.

Using a natural wayis safer and healthier. By watching the foods you eat. Drinking more water to flush your system. Having a targeted workout routine. Plus working on your mental thinking process on food in your life. I cannot stress that last part enough. You have to completely change your mental outlook on food. Food is not a security blanket.

Weight loss for the over 40 something is not easy and that is just a fact of life. The older we get our bodies change making it harder to keep the weight off. Our metabolism slows to a crawl so the daily routine doesn't burn off that extra weight we are gaining. We have to workout longer to get the same results. The foods we could eat when we were younger now put on the pounds. Getting older is hard work and not for faint of heart.

What to do? You need a program that is gear for your age and lifestyle. One to show the proper foods to eat and what workout routine will work for you. The internet is the perfect source of information and knowledge. Use it, abuse it so you can be a well informed person of your own body's needs.

Being overweight is a handicap but one that is self inflicted. So your lucky it is a handicap that can be corrected. Think of all the things you could do if you loose that weight. People would look at you in a different way and that will change your life.
